What We Do

The AMPrint Center collaborates with industry, government, and academic partners to develop the next generation of additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D printing (3DP) technologies, materials, and applications. The Center's world-class facilities for metal, composite, ceramic, electronic, and polymer AM are run by experts in the field with dozens of years of experience.

RIT's industry-friendly IP terms allow partners to focus on what matters - technology development and transfer. The AMPrint Center has extensive experience helping small, medium, and large companies write grant proposals to secure government funding for innovative R&D projects. Likewise, the AMPrint Center can provide matching funds for projects under certain conditions. Interested in learning more?
